What payment options do you accept ?
« on: July 04, 2013, 02:34:02 pm »
Hi

At the moment I accept the following Cash, cheque, bacs, paypal and have just signed up to cardsave so i can take payments at the door or over the phone via ipad/laptop ect

I'm thinking about dumping paypal, some cash payments & all cheque payments what do you think.

Why dump cheque and some cash payments mate??.
I get 10-15 cheques in the post a day. If i stopped those debt list would burn hotter than hot with the amount owed.

Cheques cost a stamp plus 30p to pay in the bank plus looking to the future i don't really want staff walking around with cash on them.

Not not sure yet about cash and cheque but im geting shot of paypal though.

Absolutely anything.
I'd let customers pay me in belly button fluff if it was worth anything!

Paypal is going because i don't want two different card payment solutions.

Plus once i sort out the payment process and train the customers i'm sure my customers will find it a lot better than paypal

Anyone use www.gocadless.com?

It allows you to pre-authorise your custies accounts for variable DD payments. No need to me on a specific schedule of for a fixed amount, so it can work much like paypal,.. only much less costly in fees.  ;)

It is a PITA to setup on a website though!

gocardless is an option well worth considering as YOU debit the account when you are ready - so we debit 3 days after a clean for those on this scheme. PITA it maybe to set up - but Nate can do it no problems :)

hey smudger,

just been looking at Gocardless.  It looks amazing.  do you just need the customers email address to send them a link to authorise it, and then you can take payments as you go?

You can e-mail them a link or they can click the button on your website. Once they authorise it you can take payments as & when you clean.

Thats how I understand it anyway - its not launched in Ireland yet & I can't even sign up myself!

Cash, cheque, internet banking, telephone banking, paypal, card if not regiseterd with paypal.

So long as they pay thats all that counts. Id prefer someone paying paypal than having to collet any day of the week

richard - thats right, its really easy you can send them the form, it asks for their bank details, you are informed when they have replied, and then we debit account 3-5 days AFTER a clean, its great for late payers, and lots of others liek it, its a payment we will be pushing extensively over the coming months.
